Have you ever considered that God wants to dwell with you and in you? Think about it: The God of the universe, who created all things, desires to dwell with you and in you. Unfolded in the pages of Scripture is the story of his deep love for us, and the extent to which he has gone to graciously allow us the privilege to dwell with him in his presence now and for eternity.

But the truth is, you cant approach him casually or on your terms. There is only one way that you can dwell with him now and forever. It is in Jesus Christ that we are restored to God. It is at the cross where we find the hope and assurance that we will always dwell with him, now and forever.

In this series, you will gain insight into part of Gods story as seen in the tabernacle. Each article of the tent of meeting has a specific purpose, and clearly reveals Gods plan for us to dwell with him, and for him to dwell in us. As you journey through this study, you will discover that everything in Scriptureand in particular, the tabernaclepoints to and finds its fulfillment in Jesus Christ. The reality of the tabernacle is that it tells the story of God. And the story of God is that he has always desired to be with us, and for us to be with him.

SESSION 1

Everything in Scripture points to and finds its fulfillment in Jesus Christ.

And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, [Jesus] interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.Luke 24:27

The children of Israel, Gods chosen people, had suffered for years as slaves under the oppressive rule of Pharaoh. It was during this time that God chose Moses to lead them out of the land of Egypt and into the land God had promised them. Where once they were not a people, God was setting apart for himself a treasured people, a kingdom of priests, and a holy nation through whom he would make his glory known.

After leaving Egypt and seeing God display his might in parting the Red Sea, Moses led the Israelites to encamp at the base of Mount Sinai. It was on this mountain that God met with Moses, giving him the Ten Commandments and instructions on how to construct a sanctuary. This sanctuary was called the tabernacle. Because of Gods desire to dwell with the children of Israel, and to go before them as they journeyed to the Promised Land, the tabernacle was to be a portable tent where Gods presence would dwell among his people (Exodus 25:8-9).
